Horrible! If I could give no stars I would! Dr. Philips is a rip-off vet and she's only there for money, she could care less about you or your pets! I would highly recommend going somewhere else or asking for another doctor. Will update with details when I have more time. I will say that the vet tech was amazing and very sweet.

For my first visit there with vet tech Heather and Dr Beggs, it was a wonderful experience! Heather was cheerful and very helpful. Dr Beggs was amazingly knowledgeable about sight hounds, especially my Italian Greyhounds. Very pleased with the service and recommendations. He is now our vet of choice. Would definitely recommend this place.

I can say nothing out amazing things about this office, the staff, the techs and the doctors are AMAZING. Called right before they closed because my pup wasn't feeling well and they got me in the very next day. I was shocked at how my options were explained to me as well as pricing. They made sure to check if I was okay with running certain tests and that I knew the cost. No pushy sales feel at all, 100% would recommend to anyone not only for sick visits but for routine as well! Thanks to everyone at Northpark Animal Hospital for making my experience great!

Absolutely fantastic experience! I was scared to death to have my pup, Alex Madison, go through TPLO surgery, but North Park Animal Hospital did an amazing job! It's been 5 weeks now and the incision healed beautifully, my puppy is on drugs but happy LOL. And her recovery is coming along well. Total 5 Star experience to see my dog walking again

I am super happy with this vet office. Each time I've needed to have my dog seen they have been able to get me an appointment really quickly. The vet that we had each time is knowledgeable, not pushing unnecessary tests/procedures/meds on me, and is good with my dog. He sits on the floor and gives lots of treats so my dog Moose isn't too scared to be there!

This was my first visit to Northpark Animal Hospital and the staff is so very friendly and so caring and compassionate about the animals brought in. Visiting a vet for the first time with your loving pet makes you nervous but their friendly staff and the christian music playing immediately put me at peace. I was more than happy with their service and will definitely be going back and I do recommend them for the treatment and compassionate care of your loving pets! Michelle G.
